WOW. Just WOW. This first book in The Blackwells of Montana series absolutely blew me away. I legit could not put it down. I was sneaking in pages whenever I could and staying up way too late just to finish it. I connected with Dani, the main character so much. She's been through the wringer, but she's so strong. As a teacher myself (former kindergartener, current 2nd grade!), it was awesome to see a teacher as the lead. Dani and Bridger are perfect for each other. Bridger just brings out this amazing side of Dani, and she fits so perfectly into his life with Berdie. I love the way Bridger made Dani feel. He builds her up, makes her feel like she matters. And their communication is total relationship goals. I felt all the feels reading this book. I was thinking about it even when I wasn't reading it, and honestly, I'm still thinking about it now! I'm so hyped for the rest of the series!

What to expect:
* firefighter x teacher
* single-dad
* friends-to-lovers
* small town romance
* past trauma (FMC)
* adorable daughter
* found family

Thank you Valentine PR for an ARC of this amazing book! I voluntarily read it and gave an honest review.
